Cottage Cheese Breakfast Cups are beautiful and taste more like a special treat or dessert…with the nutrition we need to power our day.
I didn’t tell my family these were made from cottage cheese at first (they assumed yogurt) and everyone liked it including a few kids who would “never” eat cottage cheese straight from the carton.
The possibilities are truly endless here:
*You could use any nut butter or sunflower seed butter that fits YOUR specific dietary needs or that you simply prefer. (Cashew butter would be divine!)
*Any nuts or seeds can be exchanged. (Walnuts or Brazil nuts would be fab!)
*Add more or less honey to your taste or dietary needs.
*Make it chocolate by blending a few Tablespoons of cacao powder into the cottage cheese mixture.
*Blend your favorite protein powder into the mix to make it higher in protein.
*Sprinkle with chia seeds for an extra dose of nutrition.
*Any combination of berries will work well. Frozen berries that are slightly thawed are delicious because they create their own “syrup” as they melt.
*You could exchange your favorite granola for the nuts.
HAVE FUN and get creative!
